Now My Heart Is An Ocean

There runs a stream from every limb
A river from each organ
And every single one that flows
From the top of my head
To the tips of my toes
Yes, each one drains my plains and goes
Down into the seas of my heart

 And there it splashes 'gainst the cliffs
Of my transgression
Mixing in
With the salt of my sin
Now my heart is an ocean
And my journey may begin

But where does an ocean go?

It goes to my eyes
And streams down my face
As I fall to my knees in utter disgrace
Till the winds of forgiveness
Blow on its waves
Of hope for this lowly
Hapless of slaves

Yes, there's hope in these tears
To put out the flames
Of a fire that taunts me
By all of my names
Let them flow till the seas
Of my heart become calm
Till my face feels the kiss
Of eternal Salaam
